Fred, Thanks for the info. I did a little more research and found out that if I bring up the early startup control screen, that even if my boot partition is listed as available, I still get the load boot floppy animation a couple of times (although it is not listed on initial boot, so the spinup problem is definitely there, too). So, something even wierder is going on here. I am going to try it with some other drives. I also occasionally get a disk error on my workbench partition, but when I do all the disk diagnostics, nothing comes up as bad and when I hit retry it ALWAYS succeeds. Maybe it is a cable problem. Also, when I disconnects the second drive and changed the boot drive from master to only, none of these problems occured. However, all drive jumper settings are correct. Arrrrrghhhhhhh. This is a minor annoyance compared to the flyer/Toaster 4.0 hangups. Thanks for your help. Brian
